Abstract
Resumen: Mesolecanium deltae Lizer y Trelles, 1917 y Lecanium perlatum Cockerell, 1898, son conocidas como plagas de citrus en Argentina, Brasil, Paraguay, y Uruguay. El estudio del material lleva a la conclusión de que son sinónomos, y que la especie estaría mejor ubicada en el género Parthenolecanium, por lo que se propone a Parthenolecanium perlatum (Cockerell) como una nueva combinación.
